Active Ingredients
Elastatropin® (Tropoelastin)™ – is the most advanced skin care ingredient in the world. Tropoelastin™ was developed as part of a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) competition on wound healing and tissue regeneration to help treat battlefield injuries. Elastatropin™, the laboratory synthesized form of human tropoelastin™, is the natural precursor of the human elastin in the skin. Elastatropin™ helps restore the natural elastin content in skin that is lost throughout the aging process, helping reduce the appearance and onset of wrinkles.
Matrixyl - 3000® - is a combination of matrikines including Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide – 7, Matrixyl 3000® promotes collagen production while stimulating fibroblast cells in the skin, enabling them to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Although fibroblasts never completely lose their ability to create more collagen, the levels dwindle with age and the skin dries out and wrinkles.
Argireline® - is a unique new peptide, called Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, that both reduces existing facial wrinkles and is effective against the development of new wrinkles. Studies with human volunteers show that argireline is a breakthrough in cosmetic science because of its remarkable speed in anti-wrinkle activity. Argireline® also decreases the depth of facial wrinkles caused by the contraction of muscles from facial expressions, especially near the eyes and on the forehead. Botox® targets the same wrinkles, but Argireline® is safer and less expensive.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) - is a complex carbohydrate that is distributed widely throughout the body in connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. One of the chief components of the Extracellular Matrix, HA contributes significantly to cell proliferation and migration, and is a unique moisturizing agent because of its ability to retain water more effectively than any other natural substance. Hyaluronic acid is the active ingredient in the injectable filler, Restylane®. Restylane® is administered by plastic surgeons via transdermal injections. Each injection contains approximately 10mg of HA and costs $500-$700 dollars. The resulting balloon effect requires a refill about every 4 months. Recent scientific studies have proven that the cumulative effect of regular HA applications is more important to long term skin health than the short term balloon effect.
Proliesl ® - consists of a mixture of amino acids with a powerful ability to reduce damage caused by exposure to the sun and environmental insults to the skin. ProliSel contains L-selenomethionine, a highly bioavailable selenium source, as well as amino acids L-Proline and L-Cysteine. Scientific studies have proven that all three of these vital amino acids significantly reduce cell damage and programmed cell death caused by exposure to UV light or Reactive Oxygen Species.
